RE: DEFAULT_MAX_CONNS

[<OlkhinAG () nk rn-inform ru>]

64 events total, one is used for input stream handle, one for output and 62 left for network connections.

Now, when 63rd connection is made ncat just stops handling them. 
You can test it:
start ncat -l --broker 7777
for /L %%i IN (1,1,62) do start ncat localhost 7777
<works there>
start ncat localhost 7777
<broken now>

Thanks for this information. Why 62 and not 61 for example? Did you run into a bug with DEFAULT_MAX_CONNS set as it is 
now?
